Okay, so Mahomes has that ankle sprain, and Chiefs fans are understandably nervous. But here’s the thing: by all accounts, this injury seems to be healing faster than expected. Remember that high ankle sprain he had against the Jaguars a couple of years ago? Yeah, this one feels better than that, and he played through THAT one on the way to a Super Bowl title!
Now, the Chiefs are in a good spot. They’ve got a two-game lead for the top seed in the AFC, and they could even afford to lose this week’s game against the Texans. But let’s be real, this is Patrick Mahomes we’re talking about. The guy’s a competitor, and he’s not going to sit out unless he absolutely has to.
Plus, the Chiefs have a history of playing it safe with Mahomes. Remember last year when they rested him down the stretch? They still managed to win the Super Bowl, even without that first-round bye.
So, while that ankle sprain might look scary, don’t count Mahomes out just yet. He’s tough, he’s determined, and he’s got a team around him that can win even if he’s not at 100%. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him out there on Saturday, proving once again why he’s the best in the business.
